President and Commander-in-Chief David Granger yesterday announced the return of a fixed annual State subvention for the Guyana Veterans’ Legion.
GINA said that this announcement was received with loud applause from a packed room of mainly ex-servicemen and women at the traditional Remembrance Day reception organised by the Legion, at Coghlan House on Carifesta Avenue.
Several cheques were handed over to the organisation including promised unpaid subventions in the sum of $1.5M, a contribution of $300,000
